HDF5 format compatibility for existing files
This PR selects the best HDF5 format compatibility options when re-opening an existing netCDF-4 file for writing, such as appending, or adding new groups or variables. This change selects the optimal HDF5 v1.8 compatibility when possible, and otherwise falls back to the adequate v1.6 compatibility. Format compatibility is a transient property of the HDF5 library, rather than baked in at file creation time. Therefore, format compatibility options must be re-selected every time a netCDF-4 file is re-opened for writing. This builds on the similar update for initial file creation, PR Unidata#1931, by @brtnfld, released in netcdf-c version 4.8.1. In particular, this PR moves the compatibility controls into a single central location, a new common function that is shared by both create and open functions. Fore more details, see issue Unidata#951, and documentation at the top of libhdf5/hdf5set_format_compatibility.c.

* @file | ||
* @internal This function selects the best HDF5 file format options | ||
* to create netCDF-4 files that can be read and written by older | ||
* library versions. | ||
* | ||
* Format compatibility is transient, not baked in to an HDF5 file | ||
* at creation time. Therefore the desired compatibilty options | ||
* must be selected every time a file is opened for writing. | ||
* | ||
* This function should be called before every call to create a new | ||
* netCDF-4 file, or to open an existing netCDF-4 file for writing. | ||
* This function has no effect when opening a file for read only. | ||
* | ||
* This function should work correctly with all HDF5 library versions | ||
* from 1.8.0 through 1.13.0 and beyond, with no further changes. | ||
* This assumes that HDF5 versioning controls remain consistent | ||
* into the future. | ||
* | ||
* The basic functionality is to select the traditional HDF5 v1.8 | ||
* format compatibility, whenever possible. The less desirable | ||
* v1.6 compatibily is selected in a few strange cases when it is | ||
* not possible to select v1.8. | ||
* | ||
* Files created with v1.6 compatibility have superblock version 0. | ||
* Files created with v1.8 compatibility have superblock version 2. | ||
* | ||
* The superblock version is locked in when a file is first created. | ||
* It is then possible to get a mix of v1.6 and v1.8 internal | ||
* object versions, when an existing netCDF-4 file is modified by | ||
* a different software version than the one that originally | ||
* created the file. Mixed-object files of this nature are common | ||
* and do not suffer any serious problems. | ||
* | ||
* See netcdf-c github issues #250 and #951 for more details about | ||
* the rationale and evolution of netCDF-4 format compatibility. | ||
